Anna Bugge

Anna Bugge Wicksell (17 November 1862 – 19 February 1928) was a Norwegian and Swedish feminist, lawyer, diplomat and politician.

She moved to Sweden in 1889 and became a lawyer and Swedish diplomat, and the first female member of the League of Nations' permanent mandate commission.

Her particular interest was in concrete reforms; she was more occupied with the social and economic reasons for the suppression of women, rather than spiritual discussions on morality and codes of conduct.

In articles from the NAWR periodical Nylænde, she emphasized women's economic independence as a necessity for their liberation.

In 1889, Bugge "united" with Knut Wicksell without an official marriage[1] and left Norway for Sweden, her new husband's homeland.
